Set up a course and a project

Create the container your students' work lives in.

A project lives inside a course. Set up the course first, then add a project to it.

Create the course

  1. 1Open Courses from the sidebar and choose to add a course.
  2. 2Give it a course name and a course code.
  3. 3Create the course. You can add projects now, or create the course now and add them later by hand.

Add a project

A project needs an outcome, a timeline, and milestones. You can shape one yourself, or start from a real business need (see the next article). Either way, the outcome and milestones are what students deliver against and what eventually gets verified.

Tip

You can bring in a real organization as the sponsor now, or shape the project first and add a sponsor later. A project produces verified evidence for the student either way; a sponsor adds the second, outcome signature.
